What: A solo show by colorado-based artist Bay Bryan; theatre / music / movement / storytelling / ginger When: 8pm, Friday July 7, 2017; TIX: $20/$15/$10; Ticket Link: http://gimbshine.bpt.me Where: Shine; 2027 13th St, Boulder, CO 80302 'Growing Into My Beard' is one ginger's personal quest to obtain TRUE LOVE --the kind that can ALWAYS be found in the movies starring Drew Barrymore (love you drew)... By way of original songs, dramatically told personal anecdotes and justified farcical movement, Bay weaves together a tale of love that is romantically nostalgic, deeply personal and above all HOPEFUL. "Bryan's performance is open and vulnerable... and fosters a strong sense of community between performer and audience." -Phindie Brief History of GIMB's Journey: The first rendition of "Growing into My Beard" debuted in the East Village, NYC at Under St Marks Theater in May of 2015.

Then in 2016 it went on to enjoy successful runs at the One Catches Light Festival in Brooklyn, as well as the Proud AF Solo Festival at The Tank in NYC. Most recently, GIMB played at Interplay Theatre in Leeds, UK Dec. 8th, 2016! Bay Bryan is a singer/songwriter and performance artist originally from Golden, CO.
